This manual contains the information needed to interface ECL<SUP><I>i</I></SUP>PS<SUP><I>e</I></SUP>
code to C, C++ or Java environments, or to use it from within scripting
languages such as Tcl.
ECL<SUP><I>i</I></SUP>PS<SUP><I>e</I></SUP> is available in the form of a linkable library,
and a number of facilities are available to pass data between the
different environments, to make the integration as close as possible.<BR>

It also contains information on interfacing to external software systems,
such as database management systems.<BR>
